IS THERE ANY HOPE?
NEW AND IMPORTANT OPINIONS OF
PULMONARY EXPERTS!
Gan the Universal Consumption be Sue
oessfully Treated?

Dr. borgeon, a leading French
doctor, has new treatment for
consumption!
He gives an enema of carbonic
acid and sulphuretted hydrogen, the
latter gas carrying the former into
every part of the throat and lungs.
This treatment, too, is directed
at etiects-the cause remains un-
disturbed.
What this cause is has been stat
ed by perhaps the highest pulmona-
ny authority in the world. i. e., the
Brompton Hospital for ConsumI-
tives, in London, Eng.
This malady every year carries
off from one seventh to one fifth of
the entire population of England.
Dr.. Payne, M. D., M. X. G. p,
London, is authority for This state
ment.
The same or greater proportion
Of deaths obtains in America.
DR.. Payne also says that one-halt
the Total number of deaths from all
other causes have seeds OF this dis
ease in the system which only re-
quires some irritant to develop!
DR.. Hermann Brehmer, an emf
nent German authority, says that
consumption is caused by deficient
nutrition Of the lungs, by poor
blood.
These authorities cannot be DIS
puted. The medical world recog
nizes them. The uric acid Is the ir-
ritant in the blood that causes the
development of the seeds which
DIR. Brehmer says lie dormant in
the blood.
Every particle of blood which
passes through the lungs and heart
also goes through the kidneys, and
if they are in the least deranged
they cannot rid the blood ofits kill
ing poison. The thousand little
hair-like sewer tubes of the kidneys
very easily get blocked up and dis
eased; and when they do, they cor
rupt instead of purifying the blood.
Kidney disease may exist, and yet
no pain occur in that organ, be-
cause it is deficient in nerves of
sensation.
Dip your finger in acid every day
and it soon testers and ia destroyed.
Send acid poisoned blood through
the lungs every second, and they
soon give way.
The Brompton Hospital investi-
cation showed that 50 per cent. of
the victims of consumption were
afflicted with deranged kidneys,
which permitted the uric acid poi
son TO remain in the blood and ir-
ritate the lungs. This uric acid is
always fighting every vital organ,
and if there be any inherent weak
ness in the lungs it inevitably caus-
es pneumonia, cough and consump-
ton.
The real cause of pulmonary
troubles being so authoritatively
shown to be faulty even through
unsupported action Of the kidneys,
explains why, in order TO master
the dreaded consumption, one must
rid the blood of the uric acid ir-
ritsnt which inflames and turns up
the lung substance. For this pur-
pose there is nothing equal to that
great specific, Warmers safe cure.
This remedy has now the favor of
medical men all over the world
purely on its merits. We have no
doubt that if the kidneys are kept
in natural action, consumption and
great many other diseases, caused
by uric acid, will not only be cured
but will be prevented.
When the kidney is healthy, no
albumen appears in the water, but
albumen is found in the water of
: more than half of those who die OF
&C consumption!
This, then, is the condition of
things that always precedes con
sumption: First, weakened kid
neys; second, retained uric acid,
poisoning the blood; third, the de-
velopment of disease in the lungs
by the irritant acids passing through
them. Then there is o little cough
in the morning; soon thick, yellow
matter is spit up, followed by loss
of flesh and strength, with dread
full night sweats; and when the pa
tient goes to his school physician
for help he is put on cod liver oil
: which his stomach, weakened also
by uric acid in the blood, cannot
digest. Because there is no pain
present in the kidneys the patient
does not think they are affected,
but the kidney acid is doing its
work every minute, every hour, ev-
cry day and every night, and by
and-by the disease of the lungs has
advanced until pus is developed,
then come hemorrhages, and at last
the CLASSY stare which denotes that
the end is near!
A post-mortem examination oil
j, such cases shows that the terrible
uric acid has completely destroy,
the substance of the lung.
n 1t is impossible to cure lung dis
case when the blood is poisoned
, with uric acid.
